As a part of the Devroar Program, the Tal'shiar appropriated funds for a Battleship to accompany the Devroar Battle Cruiser. It wasn't until 2410 when the RSE was engaged in Cold War expansionism with the other major powers that the Senate decided to pursue this ship. A new Battleship would help offset the burden on its other ships to defend the borders and allow for more aggressive expansion.

The original designs were harvested from the records, and updated with the newest technology and efficient protocols. The size of the ship was also increased to give the ship a more intimidating look. In 2411 the Senate turned over the designs to the Tal'shiar to secretly build. It took two and a half years to churn out the first ship; however the Empire was amazed at the new vessel. The class was named Tel'Eur (Tell-your, translates as Bird of War) as a reflection of its power. The RSE Tel'Eur warped away from spacedock early in 2413, soon to engage the Federation and match it's prowess against that of the Federations best.

The T-170 Tank was designed as a replacement light armament tank for the Federation Marine Corps around 2400. The T-120 tanks had an overbearing weakness that eventually caused its demise. Its power output was too much for it to handle. The T-170 tanks uses much less power than the 120 model, however is just as powerful and maneuverable on the battlefield.

The Normandy Drop ship was developed in 2390, seven years after the founding of the Marine Corps. It was around this time that the corps began to get more funding and recourses and could stop using retrofitted Starfleet gear and develop some of its own. The Normandy Class is perfectly outfitted to carry its complement of Marines (usually 2 platoons) to the planet's surface safely, and act as a portable fortification once there.

The Multi-purpose Combat Vehicle has become a very important asset to the Marine Corps. Similar to the use of the HUMVEE on earth the MPCV's are used for a range of operations. The MPCV may be used as a simple means of transportation between bases, an troop transport, if it's payload area is emptied out it can carry a full platoon. The MPCV's can also be outfitted to carry a VMMAMMS, or a standard Type X fixed Phaser Cannon.

The Helia Class was recently developed by the Marine Corps to be not only a space fighter, but also a planetary support vehicle. The class was designed with all the new Technology, increasing its armament compared to the Colonel Class. The designers also extended the hull adding a payload area able to hold bombs, supplies, or in desperate circumstances, Marines. The designers then went to work with a new way to unload their payload, they created model after model, finally perfecting the fourth, designating it the Mark 4 two were fitted to the end of the pay load area where they could be filled then eject their contents in rapid succession emptying the payload in as little as 7 seconds.

The Colonel Class was designed as a secondary fighter to the Semper Fi Attack fighter. Within a year, the Colonel Class became the primary fighter. The Class got its name from its designer Col. Ulan Grorg, who has refused seven separate offers for promotion to General. The Colonel Class has proven to be a nimble and well armed Attack fighter for the Marine Corps.
